I have been tuning pens for about 2 years now and have decided to try my own casings. I assembled a pressure pot with vaccum from the plans in the forum. Thanks, works great. I ordered casting material from Mr Fiberglass. The specs say 10 drops of catalyst per ounce of resin. I found a suggestion of using 3 drops per ounce and used that for degassing and then putting under pressure. The question I have is how long does it take for the castings to cure and do you leave them under pressure the whole time? I have them at 50psi and it has been two days now and it just now seems to be gelling. Have I not put enough catalyst in or am I just getting way ahead of myself? If not enough catalyst I assume that I can pull the snakeskin from the mold and recast with more catalyst?
Thanks in advance,
